Greece, Cyprus Criticized for Serving 'Netanyahu's Gains' – As Expected
Daily Sabah reports on Greek journalist John Kountouris's dismay that Greece and Greek Cyprus are 'rewarding' Netanyahu's government instead of penalizing it. While Kountouris rightly flags the hypocrisy, it's hardly groundbreaking news. This pattern of 'rewarding' expansionist policies has a long history, typically greased by strategic alliances, energy deals (like the EastMed pipeline), and a
healthy dose of convenient amnesia about international law. The diplomatic theater merely offers a convenient cover for ongoing normalization efforts. One might wonder if these governments receive a special decoder ring that makes them impervious to the visible suffering caused by rewarding illegal occupation. Or perhaps the 'gains' are just too lucrative to ignore, regardless of the ethical cost.
After all, why risk moral high ground when there are pipelines to build and defense contracts to sign?
